Dear Team,
My name is Nasra, a 20-year-old girl from Kenya. I recently completed
my secondary education with a mean grade of B Plain and have always
dreamed of becoming a nurse or a doctor (MBBS). Due to financial
limitations, I am unable to afford the tuition and study expenses
required to pursue this path.
I am kindly requesting guidance on available scholarships that support
international students interested in Nursing or MBBS, especially those
that are fully funded. I am passionate about healthcare and committed
to making a difference in the lives of others through this field.
Thank you for your time and support.
Warm regards,
Nasra
